Installation Tips
Ensure the receiving component is threaded to M6 specification or pair the screw with an M6 nut for through-bolt installation.
Pre-align the screw to avoid cross-threading and insert by hand before tightening with a suitable tool.
Avoid over-tightening, particularly when fixing into softer materials such as plastic or thin sheet metal.
Use a thread-locking adhesive in vibration-prone environments to improve long-term retention.
If cutting the screw to a shorter length, file the end to remove sharp edges before reuse.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
